Sorry, but this is probably the last update you'll be getting all weekend (what with it being Easter and all). Anyway, here's the chapter.

We found our way to Mt. Chimney, the largest landmark in Hoenn. It would serve as a decent camp spot until we found a way to get moving again. But the sad truth is, no matter how far we go, the events in Deoxys's Fortress would haunt us for the rest of our lives. Glalie was dead; Frosslass had gone berserk; Swellow lost all of his comrades to a sadist; and Jirachi had a few questions to answer.

I gathered the others, and we had Jirachi sit on a large rock, and we circled him as he looked at us with slight curiosity.

"Alright Jirachi," I began. "We've picked a fight with someone we can't beat, innocent Pokemon are starting to drop dead, and Deoxys's primary target just so happens to be you. Care to explain why?"

Jirachi lowered his head in despair. He knew what was going on; his face gave it all away.

"Okay, do you guys really want to know what all this mess is about?" he asked us. We all nodded simultaneously.

"Well, it all started about a thousand years ago, during the Great Legendary War. Dialga had formed an army to defend himself against Giratina's followers, led by the Volcanic Dinosaur, Groudon. I was part of his army." The very mention of Dialga's name brought a gasp from everyone but me. I was well aware about the division of the Creation Trio upon the start of the war.

"I was a servant of one of Dialga's most powerful generals, the Tsunami Whale, Kyogre. At the time, Kyogre was at his own personal war with Groudon, his sworn nemesis. In the middle of the conflict, Giratina's scout, who you all know as Deoxys, had targeted me, because of my ability to grant any wish." That last part shocked everyone, even me; and I see everything coming!

"Well, in order to prevent me from falling into the wrong hands, Kyogre cursed me to sleep for one thousand years, only to awake for a single week."

"That's so unfair!" Eevee said, surprised at the obvious carelessness of Legendary Pokemon.

"That's Legendary Pokemon for you. Sometimes, their well-meaning, but most of the time, a lot of their actions are stemmed from their own selfish desires, and with little to no thought of how it affects others." I muttered. Everyone then looked at me, not very amused. "Let's just say I've had some experience with selfish Legendries."

"Indeed. And once this week is over, the process will repeat itself, and I'll go to sleep for another one thousand years, and every wish I grant takes up lot of energy; the bigger the wish, the more it saps out of me."

After a long, awkward pause, there was another question that came to mind.

"So, what exactly does Deoxys want with you this time around?" I asked.

"From what I could guess, he wants me to revive Groudon. It would be the first step at reassembling Giratina's army. With Groudon's return, they'd have an army of Fire- and Ground-Type Pokemon at their disposal, and Giratina's other servants will unite once again." said Jirachi.

There was another awkward pause, until Mudkip finally spoke up.

"So, why can't we just do the same thing to Kyogre?" he asked, to which Treecko slapped him in the back of the head.

"Didn't you just hear him say something like that could kill him?" Treecko shouted. A few gears started turning in my head, and I finally found my big idea of this adventure.

"Where exactly can we find Kyogre?" I asked.

"He, like Groudon, is sleeping in an orb. Groudon's is the Red Orb, which Deoxys is after; Kyogre's is the Blue Orb, which we need if we want to stop Deoxys." said Jirachi.

Of course, the very second he said that, things started to go very bad.

All of us were suddenly levitated into the air. Then I heard that robotic, lifeless laugh that only belonged to one Pokemon.

"I have to say, Pikachu. Hiding? Near Mt. Chimney? That doesn't sound like the foolhardy, reckless, ignorant Pokemon Police that you're so well affiliated with." said Deoxys.

I stared at him with anger and disgust, remembering everything he did to Glalie, all the way up until he killed him. Said anger and disgust was multiplied a hundred fold as Deoxys grabbed Jirachi by the neck, and stared at him with those bright, lifeless eyes.

"You're going to help me get what I want. And this time, no tricks are going to save you." Deoxys said, and suddenly his goons (minus Gallade, for some reason) popped out of nowhere, and suddenly everyone was down on the floor, being held down by Zangoose, Scizor, Weavile, and a giant metal spider that I would later learn was be called Metagross.

Deoxys held Jirachi up to the mountain, then raised his other hand, which was holding what I could only assume was the Red Orb.

"Jirachi! I wish for the awakening of the Behemoth Groudon!" Deoxys commanded, and suddenly the blinding light from before returned. The light engulfed Jirachi and the Red Orb, before the latter shot off at incredible speed toward the mountain.

There was yet another long, awkward silence. Jirachi suddenly lost consciousness, and then the mountain exploded. Lava overflowed out of the pit, and a giant, red-scaled, spikey creature rose from the pit. The creature let out a blood-curling roar, and the surrounding lava started burning down nearby shrubs and trees. The creature climbed out of the pit, and slowly approached Deoxys, who simply stared in awe at it.

"Deoxys." The creature growled.

"Good evening, General Groudon." said Deoxys.

Now we have more than one major threat in this region. Talk about a dramatic turn of events for the series.

Remember to review, and I'll see you guys later.
